Why would they do this?
>>339167718
Proof?
>>339167782
Proof
>>339167718
Man that would be great
Diablo fags are delusional. At the last blizzcon they confirmed that the RTS team is going to work on a new RTS after LotV and all the people they hire or shift from Diablo 3 are probably working on that.
>>339167718
Nice youtube click bait screenshot. Shit tier thread with zero actual evidence from Blizzard.
Diablo 4 fixed EVERYTHING guys xDDD
>>339167945
With how Diablo 3 turned out im actually glad that they arent making a new one. Modern blizz should stick with WoW and new IPs
>>339167718
Didn't Diablo 3 sell like gangbusters? Why wouldn't they?
But maybe they'll have learned their lesson and make the game look spooky this time and rehire matt uelmen and fire jay wilson and and and it could be great
because blizzcucks will buy it en masse no matter how shit it is
but diablo 3 is good now, we don't need a diablo 4 until the second expanc hits
>>339168149
Because some people on 4chan didn't like it.
>>339167718
NO!!!
pls just give me another expansion with a necromancer class please
also let me kill Imperious pls
Why didn't Act V do anything with Leah? The other two Diablo hosts left a dead body.
>>339167718
>Why
Money. also their believe diablo 3 failed for being too complex and too hard even in season 6.
They need something more "mature" (read : same designs as overwatch), and more "fair" (read: paid loot crates)
>>339167945
God, I hope it's WC4.
>>339168259
source please
>>339167718
if they release Diablo 2 in HD updated engine
with mod support and tools to make mods. They could breathe life back into it and I would buy it. If they rehash some garbage and shell out another shit game then fuck em. I cant remember correctly or not but it was either bliz or ppl who own cod franchise. They were bought out and under control of the same people who convince you each few months that a new brand of toilet paper is better than the old one and charge more. Thats why gaming is going down the shitter. lol
>>339168278

In the section for Blizzard job openings for the unannounced Diablo game, there is at least one that has this requirement:
>Demonstrated proficiency with current surfacing techniques and PBR workflows
PBR is physically based rendering, a complex lighting technique D3 is not capable of.
While it's hardly definitive, it otherwise raises the possibility of D4.
>>339168149
It didn't. It has a good start then died overnight in 3 month. "seasons" only feel the game for 3 weeks top.

I don't even care about it being casual, diablo 2 was pretty fucking casual as well, but it wasn't spooky enough.
>>339167718
Because Diablo 3 was a mistake
Are they gonna use the WoW cartoon graphics again?
>>339168301
Why would you need a necromancer class when you already have the witchdoctor? Gameplay wise they dont differ too much and i really doubt blizz would add it.
>>339168505
Well duh
>>339168393
They made it plenty uncasual by making Inferno legitimately hard, but you all bitched about that too.

They need to sell more account authenticators.
Remember, widespread account hacking is completely the consumer's fault unless they pay for a physical authenticator magnanimously sold by Activision-Blizzard at an affordable price :^)
>>339168429
mate... diablo 3 is the best selling pc game of all time
>>339168743
It was literally impossible to progress.
Ilvl 62 gear didn't drop until a3 but everyone gets one shot in a2 with ilvl 61.
Only reason people got anywhere was because of monk, dh,wizard invulnerability exploits.
Even then, they didn't have the gear to farm. Instead, they had to afk while tyreal killed stuff.
Inferno was retarded.
>>339168743
Everyone wanted it to be hard, but not bullshit. Blizz even went out of their way to nerf legit strats to beat it just because there was money involved (fucking AH). I still remember athene bitching about his Monk party nerf and some other heavy nerfs like the shadow walk one.
Face it, blizz didnt even want people to beat vanilla inferno.
>>339168989
You realize there is an authenticator app that makes up 99.99% of authenticator usage now and that the physical authenticators were never popular at all, right?
>>339167945
I pray that they start work on Warcraft 4, and continue where Warcraft 3 left off. All of the WoW "lore" needs to be scrapped.
>>339169047
>activision slaves actually literally believe this.
I hope Diablo 4 has built in gamepad support. I never realized how much better they were until I played the console Diablo 3.

Bullshit, it was fine if you weren't braindead.
>>339168956
Yeah, i did and my point still stands. WD covers almost everything that the Necro had on D2.

This is the selection of jobs, all coming under Diablo, from http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas
>Software Engineer, Graphics
>Animator, Unannounced Project
>Senior Animator, Unannounced Project
>Senior Character Artist, Unannounced Project
>Senior Concept Artist, Unannounced Project
>Senior VFX Artist, Unannounced Project
Every single one is art related, with no "pure" programming, no designers, no writers etc. that the other games being currently worked on all have openings for. This to me makes me think of an animation (like the Overwatch shorts) or something. It may just be pure coincidence that the job postings happened to line up that way though.
>>339169179
>a major game published posts false sales numbers
uh huh
>>339169135
wasn't the monk party strategy literally unbeatable though?
>>339168427
PBR is used in Overwatch, maybe they're looking for artists for future stuff there.
Though I don't doubt there is something Diablo-related in the works, whether it's an expansion or a new game. A new game kinda makes sense because even though they have improved the game a lot they made such a bad first impression no one wants to give it a shot, so an expansion may end up just falling flat.
I'm guessing the SC2 team is also working on a new gameaka. Warcraft 4. A lot of stuff is going on at Blizzard now desu.
>>339169238
Sorry, but it's true. You must have played after they changed drops so a1 inferno had better drops. But before that, you literally had to go to a3 for 1k+ dps weapons. Check the patch notes.
>>339169428
Oh oops, I didn't see that you said they were under a Diablo category. I suck dicks on a daily basis.
>>339169373
What if it's all art shit because they realized that their current artists are incapable of doing any style heavily divergent from WoW, which they want to do because they're going to make diablo properly this time?
>>339167718
>d-diablo 3 flopped! it s-sucked! everyone knows t-t-that, right?
Wrong you dumb motherfuckers. D3 was a resounding commercial success, and is one of the best selling PC games of all time.
http://www.polygon.com/2015/8/4/9097497/diablo-3-sales-30-million-units
Though I'm expecting that they'll release another xpac first.
>>339169565
Well that doesn't make much sense since even Overwatch has elements of the artstyle from WoW, even with the inclusion of PBR.
>>339168919
why wouldnt he you fucking faggot
>>339169581
And now it has like 1000 players on a daily basis. It wasn't a commercial flop, but it was a complete failure critically. How many of those 30 million sold units do you think bought RoS? How many were even playing by the time the paragon system and revamped difficulties came out? How many would buy another expansion pack? The number of active players now are abysmal for a game that sold that well.
>>339169417
I think it was legit OP, but other nerfs were just made to make people unable to even farm on inferno. I still remember how blizz lowered the drop rate of breakables. Again, fucking AH.
>>339169656
I don't get what you're saying. But either way, it's probably not the case, I don't think blizzard artists are incompetent, just lazy with their direction. If they wanted to I bet they could make any type of art style.
>>339167718
I'd buy it
>>339169410
It wouldn't be the first time that Blizzard lied about numbers. It makes me laugh when people actually Blizzard has x amount of people playing it. It's not like they have to be honest about that shit. It's like the time I saw ff14 being pedaled by SE trying to say that they had over 5m players. It's all a joke and if you buy into that shit you have brain problems.
>>339167903
Yeah man, it would be so sweet.
>>339169450
Nope, I played since the release and killed Inferno Diablo before patch 1.0.4 or whichever it was that nerfed Inferno to the ground and started changing the drops and itemization. Slow 2H Arcane Orb Wizard, kite all day every day, but it was viable and just enough to clear the game or farm. After changes the game became a cakewalk and I was just farming everything with perma Archon.
>>339169798
I'd hope that most people bought RoS, as it was actually a great xpac which did a lot of good for the game.
>How many would buy another expansion pack?
I will :^)
I want it.
I hope so, the people that were in charge for RoS have a better understanding of how to do Diablo than the people behind the original release. A game by them might turn out better than one that was stuck with the core mechanics that the original release had.
>>339170127
I just want to have skill trees. Actual skill trees.
>>339170074
ROS is so fucking boring. D3 as a whole feel so limited, those 5 acts are awfully repetitive especially with the fact the monster type per area is fixed and the areas themselves are small as shit.
>>339169581
and 20 million were from PS4 freebies...
They didn't put out any real numbers, so it is effectively useless and unreliable.
>>339170074
I'd rather just have another expansion, I imagine there is much more room for fuck ups in a new game than there is in an expansion.
I guess I'm the only one that still plays RoS every other day, listens to the Diablo podcast, and still enjoys D3.
Yeah it was trash after launch and I didn't buy RoS day one, but hell they added two new areas, cosmetics and pets for free a few months ago, on top of so many improvements, all you have to do is farm them. I think they deserve my money again and would preorder a new expansion. If John Yang get lead dev of D4 I will buy the $200 collectors edition or whatever.
Reminder that Path of Exile is more Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 is and it's free.
>>339170294
ROS is as good as diablo has ever been, if you cant appreciate ROS I dont know how the fuck you ever liked the previous games.
>>339170362
Always annoyed me that PoE gets a free pass for always online DRM bullshit but D3 gets slammed for it, when it's way more noticeable in PoE to begin with.
>>339170362
>paying for stash tabs
>>339170362
>mash 1 button and then spend 7 hours in town trying to work sockets and gems in your gear
PoE is shit and manages to have less interactive gameplay than vanilla D3 had.
>>339170362
yeah but path of exile is somehow boring as fuck
>>339170294
ROS is fun for the arcady gameplay. It's not a good Diablo game, but it's a good game. I play Diablo 3 to feel like a demi god and destroy hordes of stuff while I play Path of Exile as an actual Diablo sequel.
>>339170362
And its fucking boring. I left that part out. Oh and it's ugly as soon too. That being said, both d3 and poe can fuck off.

>>339167718
D3 fucking sucked but if the new one is from the ground up like D3 + RoS + all the new fixes and actual cinematics (ROS plot was shite, and the cinematics looked ghetto as fuck) it could be a decent game.
I guess it could be like BF4 to BF3.
But it desesperately needs an improvement to the gameplay. Even if D3 as it is would had released immediately after Lord of Destruction it would had seen like a lackluster downgrade outside the graphics. In short, it needs actual RPG elements.
I know Diablo was always short on the RPG department, but much like Fallout 4, if there was any meat in FO3 and New Vegas, FO4 was just the dried out marrow, such is the case with Diablo 3.
Then again I am way too old for this shit, and just like with Half life 3, I am not sure if I will even care when it is finally released. Some of these games just deserve closure instead they just go on like the Simpsons.
Does anyone else hate that loot drop system where everyone see's their own individual drops? I don't know what it is but it just feels like a disconnect to me you know, like another reminder that I'm playing a video game. I actually liked the friendly fire in Diablo 1 as well I know it was annoying but I thought it was nice actually having to think about where you're firing your arrows to not shoot your friends by accident.
>>339170362
It's on life support despite being free. You get what you pay for with D3. It's a AAA game compared to some ugly indie hack job of a game.
>>339171010
Why did people call it Blizzard when it was clearly Vivendi Universal Games making the games?
>people actually want Warcraft IV
You realize that because WoW exist, Warcraft IV would be intrinsically connected to it, right? To the point that it would only exist to usher in content for WoW? The story in Warcraft IV would be tertiary, literally just setting up dungeons and raids to be knocked out in WoW.
>>339170645
>I play Diablo 3 to feel like a demi god and destroy hordes of stuff
Cool, so it really is like D2
I'm not saying that I'm hopeful - I'm fully prepared for disappointment. However, Blizzard is a massive company and they totally have the resources to build a proper sequel to Diablo 2. If the right people voice their concerns, the game might end up being good. It might not be perfect on release, but MAYBE we'll end up with a good modern Diablo game. Until then, Path of Exile for me
>>339169185
This is quite the comment, but I am simply going to fixate on one thing.
D3 on PC does not have gamead support? Also given you liked it, check Sacred 3, it is just about as good if you liked D3.
>>339171201
Eh, it's annoying with shared loot when everyone just stops attacking the boss to run in and spam click the ground to be the first to get the loot.
>>339171178
No. They wont make a full fledge game that rely on Microtransaction and make it offline for free.
Come on. Dont be that dense.
>>339171315
Nope. Diablo 2 is much slower. Diablo 3 is literally acrobatic and flashing spells everywhere.
>>339167718
Because Diablo 3 is unredeemable at this point. Core mechanics are FUBAR.
I'd take a new Diablo over a new expansion.
I'm probably one of the few people who actually prefers vanilla D3 to ROS.
Removing any sort of trade was a very bad idea people barely even interact with each others D3 on release was WAY more alive then ROS on release. People just hop in pubs without even saying a word.
The seasons are boring as shit all you can do is farm endlessly, economy reset is what matters the most in seasons not the fucking e-penis achievement on ladders and rifts.
The economy is fucked or should I say "inexistant", money is way too easy to obtain and being rich is no longer challenging or an achievement.
Muh gold farmers, muh bots, muh cheating, muh "the AH was bad" all of those things only affected blizzard and their business.
>>339171308
I don't necessarily want warcraft IV, but I would like warcraft III available through Blizzard's client.
>>339171356
My friend has made this argument to me but I never had an issue with it because I've always played Diablo games with friends and we'd just share the loot anyway if it was something that another person could use.
>>339171308
no one plays RTS anyway. poor investment to make a new one.
>>339171518
>tfw you can't be a gigantic jew anymore and spend more time making mad dosh at AH than actually play the game
I loved it, give it back.
>Diablo
WHO?
D3 was the 10th best selling game of all time.
Basically money.
>>339168427
I dont know shit about anything but could that be used in the cinematics or do they outsource all the cinematics?
maybe it's a movie
>>339171260
It's the same problem.
>>339171518
I think there is room for trading and I think the game was fine by patch 1.0.8 when the AH was removed, drop rates improved, paragon and torment added. I'm not sure why the new system has to mean there is no trading at all, aside from without the AH there would be an incredible amount of spamming in chat for trades.
But I wouldn't say the game was better then, I think adventure mode is much more fun than just running slices of the story over and over. And greater rifts add an actual meta game to the game, there was no "competition" in the game before they were added.
>>339168345

>>339170362
>UPDATES EVERY FUCKING DAY
In one hand is like Diablo 2 in a MMO like state and I really don't know anything about the plot to talk shit about it, but seems too animu. On the other It became agressively less newb friendly, it would be like starting a new game in WoW right now, in 2016, it would take you forever to catch up.
If you did not play it 2012 you won't play it now.
>>339171229
D3 is the mirror image of Path of Exile.
D3 was designed with accesibility in mind (I.E for retarded console casuals and the candy crush player base), so it is handicap and gay friendly, on top it is retardedly short, and there is not PVP so you won't ever feel shit about being bad at the game, not only that, the game is so fucking friendly dying is never a big deal.
That said it is boring as all fuck, and without PVP gear is just about increasing DPS and Armor, your only stats so you can keep grinding on the next difficulty level....not really sure why would anyone do that, it somehow has less content than The Division in the replayability area.
>>339171572
You mean the bnet launcher? Because you know you can register your W3 keys and permanatly download the games from your account, right? Or buy them for like $20 together
>>339167718
Why?
To induce more suffering, to rape what little lore is left and probably make it an even bigger hands holding ride on a pony than Diablo III.
Or alternatively, and I'm probably 200% wrong here, that they'd want DIV to be much closer to DII while combining certain DIII mechanics that weren't so bad.
Of course I'm wrong, they'll make the game even worse than DIII and they'll be proud of it.
>>339171862
Oooo wut gem
>>339171917
Holy shit that looks bad.
>>339171862
Grim Dawn was great. I will probably follow through and do Elite.
D4 this early is a bad idea. Perfect strategy would be to announce a new xpac, make RoS free like they do with WoW a few weeks before xpac release, and gain enough people back to destroy sales records with D4
>>339171917
that's the porn parody right? because that looks fucking terrible for a movie.
>>339170074
This one is actually the least skub inducing pic of Diablo games I've ever seen.
>>339172213
Grim Dawn.
>>339171308
If the way they've handled Heroes of the Storm Warcraft characters is any indication, in that they have all been pulled from their Warcraft 3 era existences, complete with the same VA where possible, I wouldn't rule out a WC4 based in a new engine like HotS' modified SC2 engine. Hell, they even released a full array of "updated" Warcraft 3 units for use in the SC2 editor a year or two ago, indicating they've at least been toying around with it.
WoW is/was running off a modifies WC3 engine, which is why they can only slam cosmetic paint over the dated as fuck internals.
>>339172213
Grim dawn
>>339172275
You should, it isn't so hard when you unlock revered faction augments
>>339171572
It's coming, they recently released patches for WC3 and D2 to improve compatibility on modern computers. Their plan has been to move their old games to the launcher for a while now.

>>339172516
Will they improve the camera and resolution in WC3? It's by far the worst part of playing the game.
I don't want diablo 4 because knowing neo-blizzard it means :
- bringing back Deskard, ascended as a new angel to replace Malthael
- Corrupted Tyrael
- cashs hop
- memes.

>switching to physically based rendering for an expansion pack
>>339172420
>>339172420
>I wouldn't rule out a WC4 based in a new engine like HotS' modified SC2 engine.
Lad, I'd love a WCIV with the same graphics as HotS, but with campaigns where you actions shape later missions, where hero units have WoW-tier equipment loadouts (but stats like in WCIII), sub-factions for each faction that modifies how yer playing your favorite faction (including different bonuses, unique units and upgrades), and combining WCIII's hero-system with massive armies.
But I'm at this point too delusional. They'll probably instead make WCIV after a couple of WoW expansions and set it after WoW.
>>339172649
I meant because vanilla D3 is rotting on millions of people's bnet accounts because they don't want to pay to see the improvements. D4 announcement wouldn't mean as much to those people unless they could see RoS at no cost and gain hope.
Hell I don't know why they don't offer 7 day xpac trials like with WoW
>>339172591
Kickstarter only Will O Wisp
Grant more visibility and that's it.
>>339172726
Probably, the hiring for those positions just said it would be updating the games to modern standards.
They even made WC3 work on new Macs were previously it would only work on Macs using PowerPC, which could be a pretty significant amount of work. I don't see how more resolution options would be harder than that.
>>339171178

>>339172730
>Deckard, ascended as a new angel to replace Malthael
That wouldn't be so bad actually.
>Corrupted Tyrael
THAT would be very bad.
>>339172420
I could easily see all of WoW's lore being written off as an AU timeline or possible timeline, much like the entirety of WoD, and going forward in a WC4 with where WC3 TFT left off.
The WotLK handling of Arthas' storyline was complete garbage. Riddled with conflicting information such as:
>Those breaking free from the LK becoming the Forsaken vs. the Scourge going rampant without "always having a Lich King" to control them
>Arthas fusing with Ner'zhul at the end of TFT, to Arthas having basically mind-battled and destroyed Ner'zhul as a separate entity so by the time we see Lich King in WoW he's 100% Arthas
>The last vestiges of Arthas' humanity being the only thing "holding back the scourge" and that there "must always be a Lich King to control them", implying the mindless scourge are somehow more dangerous when not being led and empowered by the LK
And this is just the main storyline. Illidan's storyline was similarly butchered, and Kael'thas pulling a mini-Arthas storyline by drinking Kil'Jaeden's corruption punch. It's all garbage at this point and even Blizz knows it so it could very well and should be thrown the fuck out.
>>339170294
>those 5 acts
>playing campaign mode

>>339172042
The plot is just kind of grimdark-y, and the only think that isn't noob-friendly would probably be the skill tree at first glance. People just see that tree and get overwhelmed, forgetting that you go one skill point at a time, so you can build whatever you want.
All I'm saying is that all my Diablo 2 buddies love it more than D3. Only thing we're missing is the Druid.

Blizzard really wouldn't care about any longevity so long as they got sales which the did, along with the real money ah, they must be laughing. It's not like they monetised any continual play where they can expunge more money from people (atleast after the RMAH was removed)

Because if you played 3 you would know they basically setup the possibility of 4 with a few storylines including the fact that the PC is overpowered with no real opposition from Heaven or Hell.

It does not have any effect on gameplay. You can go from 1 -100 without any problem with 4 stash. Diablo give you even less space.

You'll be completely crippled when trying to trade if you don't have a million stash tabs to store your items. Don't kid yourself.

No you would not. 4 stash is well enough to make you reach level 100.

I didnt mind that rare items were the strongest stat wise in vanilla d3. i thought i was a better system than legendaries being the best stat wise. Legendaries should just be items that change how you play by affecting your build or whatever.
It also brings me back to diablo 1 where most of the best items were just rares with perfectly rolled stats.
I also did not mind the auction house. spamming chat channels for trades was not really my thing and it is the system that really benefits are the autistic jews who are willing to spend the extra 3-6 hours in a chat room to get that one item for 25% cheaper than the going rate. I never enjoyed that part of diablo 2.
I liked the runes and abilities that you got while leveling up in 3. it made the playstyle more diverse than 1 & 2 where you basically used the same ability for 4-5 hours before you got to the good stuff. yet most people complained about diablo 3s skill system even though it made playthroughs much more interesting than 2.
I hated the lack of atmosphere. they sort of tried to fix it in the expansion i guess.
I hated the way the story was told. constantly losing control of my character for in game cut scenes was jarring.
Those last two points are the most important faults of the game in my opinion I think that if the atmosphere was good in 3 then people would have been able to overlook the auction house and would have been willing to hold out for blizz to flesh out the skill system a little more.
>>339176475
>yet most people complained about diablo 3s skill system even though it made playthroughs much more interesting than 2.
the problems with it were that it meant that your character had no identity and that replaying the game as the same class was the same
They won't do a D4 yet, if anything it will be another D3 expansion. I predict the next expansion will conclude in an ambiguous manner; with the fate of "the Nephalem" uncertain, or up to interpretation. In D4, the Nephalem will be the final boss.
>>339167718
maybe they'll actually make a pc game this time since ya know they were completely and udderly off about their target market
>>339177214
2nd expansion got canned ages ago
i thought that overwatch would usher in a new era of blizzard making good original IPs rather than trying to recapture the success old games they don't understand why anyone liked
i really hope they dont make another diablo

No, they already said that the narration of warcraft has completely shifted towards WoW.
Basically they have too much shit ideas that a RTS would be completely insufficient to pack them all in.
>>339176475
To me the problem isn't necessarily in the skills themselves, the items in vanilla D3 just had no synergy with anything so there were no "builds", you just picked out skills and then got flat damage/life bonuses from gear. There were barely any interesting legendary affixes.
The problem with the AH was not the player trading itself, but it's clear that drop rates were nerfed hard so the AH wouldn't be stocked out with cheap ass top tier legendaries. The problem is you can't have such an easy access system in a game with 30 million players while also having sane drop rates. If drop rates for legendaries were like they are in the current game and you still had the AH all legendaries would cost a couple of gold at most. There would be no gear to grind for, you could just purchase perfect gear cheap as fuck when you hit max level.
>>339168384
> They were bought out and under control of the same people
Never happened.
Vivendi, who owned blizzard for a long time before, bought activision, not the other way around, and blizzard never lost the clause granting them absolute creative freedom in their contract.
Every shit you complain about done by blizzard is 100% blizzards fault, not activisions.
Has anyone else besides me read this yet? It actually makes BC lore make much more sense, besides the Illidan redemption thing

> If drop rates for legendaries were like they are in the current game
this is a silly argument. no diablo game has had droprates for legendaries like current d3. in current d3 you are guaranteed legendaries for some bosses for killing them the first time. If blizzard had the drop rates nerfed too hard while the auction hosue was up then they definitely had them way to high after they took it away.
>>339178074
It's a weird ass book. On the one hand, William King spins fucking gold with the shit he's forced to work with, and basically retconning TBC into the Fantasy version of Downfall is an interesting way of painting one of Warcraft's most unfortunate villains. Every time Maiev and Akama are on screen it's great, they bounce of each-other really well and the idea that Illadin just didn't give a fuck about outland was a pretty good way of explaining the bullshit that happened.
Then you get to the cringy ending where he has to, by law, incorporate the shitty RP dialogue from the game in, shove in the Elder Naaru literally as a "SO LEGION CAN HAPPEN" segment, with liberal application of yee olde plot spackle "destiny", and just fuck off the moment Maiev is done killing him.
Over all, I enjoyed it, I just wish they'd let king re-write the ending dialogue.

Since when WD could summon 100+ minions?
>>339178808
In vanilla before they fixed it I saw 1 legendary in 100 hours of playing and it was an unusable piece of shit that I sold for 5k gold on the AH. I prefer the way things are now.

Show me the build that gets 100+ minions. A viable one that doesn't put 20 points into revive like a tard.
>>339181193

How fucking low is the menagerist goblin spawn rate? I've seen a single one so far and I got the ugliest pet ever.
>>339181506
Even then you've probably got about 16 skele warriors and 16 mages with good gear. Revive is 1 minion per skill point.
How does that add up to over 100?
>>339181506
>hurr durr
>herp derp
>>339181506
Confirmed never actually played a summonmancer.
>>339181660
you can get around 50 from revive, over 40 skeletons + golem and merc
it ends up being right around 100, maybe a little less

It's gonna be Diablo III 2. Nothing of value was added
I would buy D4
RoS was a step in the right direction but D3 vanilla started so far back it doesn't really help in the big picture
>>339171862
Playing this build right now. lvl 43 and enemies are hitting themselves for 7.5-12k. Shit is fucking bonkers.
I find it amusing that the Bestbuy in my area is still selling the D3 auction house cards.
>>339184216
They're just blizzard balance cards with a different coat of paint. But yeah that location is just lazy.
